Chapter 205 Expedition
There are two paths to go from the Eastern Continent to the Western Continent. One of them is naturally to take a sea route and sail along the coastline. The other is to continue west from the Western Regions countries, cross a vast desert, and then pass through a narrow land. This place can be called Central Land. In addition to land, the Central Land also includes many islands, so it seems a bit fragmented. However, if it is combined, the overall area is actually not small. There are many ethnic groups living here, as well as some large and small city-states, countries, and Central Land are also the main source of maritime merchants due to their geographical location.
It was already late at night, the city was sleeping in the dark, and there were only a few lights at the port swaying in the sea breeze. At this time, a large ship sailed into the port. The shape of this ship was very different from that of ordinary sea ships. There was no sail. A huge chimney on the ship was filled with smoke. If it was daytime, it could be found that these ships were actually built of steel.
The large steel ship did not dock at the dock in the port, but docked on a beach several miles away from the city. With the sound of chain sliding and gear rotation, the steel gate at the stern of the steel ship was lowered to form a landing bridge. The cabin was a mighty and majestic army, most of which rode a strong BMW, and among the few people led, they rode huge beasts such as wild boars, white bears, giant wolves, and black panthers.
These people are naturally Xiao Tianlei and some of his brothers. After less than ten days of sailing on the sea, they arrived in Zhonghe. For people of this era, it was simply unimaginable. The reason was that Xiao Tianlei specially drove a second-hand steamship from the earth. Xiao Tianlei purchased various second-hand machinery for foreign stars on the earth's body. This ship was one of the gains. He originally planned to be a reference for his own shipyard, but this time it happened to be used.
Xiao Tianlei rushed to Zhonglu with a group of people, of course not for a trip, but for some uninvited guests who came to the alien star from other worlds.
Some time ago, Binghuang was reconnaissance on the Western Continent, and he saw some spacecraft. They were not spacecraft made by aerospace technology on Earth, but literally "flying ships". With the technology of the Western Continent, this kind of spacecraft will definitely not be built. Xiao Tianlei could only think of visitors from other worlds.
Of course, you should be extremely alert for invaders in other worlds, especially for some people who are ill-behaved. It is better to kill them. At this time, armored vehicles, Kuchi aircraft, and some weapons that are built from the earth or are made by the Brotherhood Arsenal are parked in the cabin of the steamship. This is for this.
Of course, it is extremely unwise to start a war with these uninvited guests. It is extremely necessary to figure out the origin of the other party and some other information. The most important thing is to figure out how strong they are? When Binghuang sent back the information, Xiao Tianlei had already asked Jiang Xiaoxi, Ma Xiaoyi and other brothers on the sea to collect information first. Not long after, Xiao Tianlei knew about it. This matter had to start with the Eastern Expedition initiated by the True God Church in the Western Continent...
Just as the war of unity in the eastern continent and middle earth was in full swing, the western continent was also engaged in an unprecedented war, just wearing a layer of religious cloak.
Religious wars can be said to have a long history in the Western Continent, and the Truth God Cult, the Truth Church and other sects with the same origin control the countries of the Western Continent. Each sect has many branches. From time to time, there are hundreds of countries in the Western Continent, each country is not big, and the scale of the war is not big. Until one day, the Truth God Church, which has the largest sphere of influence in the Western Continent, issued a papal handbook, summoning the army and believers of the Western Continent to form an eastern expedition army, known as the God's punishment army, proclaiming that it would destroy all pagans and let the glory of the Truth God shine on the entire world.
The real reason why the True God Church launched the Eastern Expedition was not so great. The reason for the war was the same as that of all other wars, and it was nothing more than for the benefit. As for the True God Church, missionary and earning money and gaining power are the same. Now the countries of the Western Continent are examples. Priests are superior and the church is superior. Not to mention civilians, kings of all countries have to bow their heads in front of the church and pay a large sum of money every year. However, the benefits that the Western Continent can obtain can no longer satisfy the church's appetite. They naturally set their sights on the East. It is rumored that the East has endless wealth and treasures. Not to mention the East, even the nearest Central Continent area makes the church salivate.
The special geographical location of the Central Continent has allowed the merchants of the Central Continent to make huge profits in the trade between the East and West Continents. The churches in the Western Continent have long been jealous. Especially in recent years, the Central Continent merchants have brought various strange objects from the East Continent. The powerful and wealthy countries of the Western Continent compete to buy them, and countless money flows into the pockets of the Central Continent merchants.
The various churches in the Western Continent have been trying to preach to the Central and the East, but this matter has been extremely unsuccessful and has not made any progress over many years. This is a very natural thing. There are many people doing business in China and the mainland. It is not easy to make smart merchants hand over their money for free. Moreover, the ideas of the people in the Central Continent are not as ignorant as those in the Western Continent, and the tricks of the Western Continent Church are not so clever. Besides, there are some local religions in the Central Continent that have taken root and have a wide range of believers. The largest of them is Zoroastrianism, and Zoroastrianism, True God Cult, and other sects have been hostile for a long time, and many wars have erupted from each other. Naturally, the True God Cult and other sects will not preach in the Central Continent.
Seeing that his pockets are getting looser and others are getting popping up, the Western Continent Church has no way, and only one method is left, that is war!
The knights, warriors and even ordinary believers in the Western Continent joined the Divine Punishment Army for faith, glory, money, etc., with hundreds of thousands of troops, and the army was unprecedentedly powerful. The Divine Punishment Army began to attack the Central Continent. After all, the Central Continent is mostly small countries, and a single country cannot resist such a large army. Even if all the Central Continent countries are united, there is still a difference between victory and defeat.
The Divine Punishment Army advanced rapidly and entered the hinterland of Central Land. There, the Divine Punishment Army encountered the army recruited by the Zoroastrianism, with only tens of thousands of people, which was almost ten times worse than the Divine Punishment Army. However, the result of this battle was unexpected. The hundreds of thousands of troops of the Divine Punishment Army were beaten to pieces, throw away their armor, and suffered heavy casualties. They almost completely defeated in one battle.
One of the main reasons why Zoroastrians won this battle was that the Zoroastrians from the East Continent played a great role. These people were actually the Ming Cultists who rebelled in Daxia. The Ming Cult was defeated in the East Continent. The remaining part of the people fled to the Zoroastrians in the Central Continent. The combat power of these people was just average, but they brought the formula of gunpowder and various methods of use, which were used in the war against the Divine Punishment Army. For the superstitious army of the Western Continent, it was simply the power of a demon. When they heard the explosion, they were frightened and they couldn't even hold up the sword. It was natural to defeat.
Zoroastrianism achieved this victory and did not give up. It began to launch a large-scale counterattack, pursuing the defeated army of the God-Punishment Army, attacking the westward and attacking the Western Continent. If the situation continued like this, relying on the power of gunpowder, Zoroastrianism might be able to conquer the Western Continent and destroy those sects. However, at this moment, things reversed again.
It is said that the True God Church held a grand prayer ceremony, praying to the True God to help them resist the Zoroastrian army. The True God really appeared. A light gate appeared in the sky, and the God envoy arrived on a flying warship that could cast the sky fire. The war later became simple. With the assistance of the flying warship, the God's Punishment Army defeated the Zoroastrian army.
Of course, Xiao Tianlei didn't believe that these people were gods. With the precedent of people on earth pretending to be gods, most of them pretending to be gods and ghosts.
Since discovering these spacecraft, Binghuang has been secretly monitoring the spacecraft's every move. There are only three spacecraft in total, and there are only more than one hundred people on the ship, with a few of them leading them, and the rest are soldiers. However, it is much more professional than the earthly people who were used to be gods. It is really like that. The ability to fly with light wings on his back is enough to scare many people, not to mention the power of the weapons and equipment on the spacecraft, just to make such a large ship hang in the air without any smoke and fireworks, the current technology of the earth is probably not possible. However, as for how profound it is, Xiao Tianlei can also achieve anti-gravity suspension using the equipment of the Time Guardian Kiran Hero Template, which uses Qi Jin's special nature.
Through observing the actions of those people on the spaceship through Binghuang, Xiao Tianlei can further confirm that they are not gods, but people from other worlds. If you want to really figure out everything, you may have to ask these people in person to know. However, if you ask these people to confess everything, you will not answer honestly if you ask them directly.
Judging from the various actions of these people, they are afraid they are not at ease. After a period of calm, the True God Church in the Western Continent claimed that it was the will of the God envoy to spread the glory of God all over the world and once again pulled up a huge army of Eastern Expeditions. This time, the Eastern Expeditions were no longer called the God Punishment Army, but changed its name, now called the God Blessing Army.
It was precisely because of the outbreak of this war that Xiao Tianlei hurried to Zhonglu. He just wanted to find an opportunity to see how strong these outsiders were. If he had the chance, he would try to kill these people.
At present, the Brotherhood has only some commercial institutions in the Central and Mainland China, and the Western Mainland is not even more powerful. As an outsider, you must face many problems such as unfamiliar regions, language barriers, and long support distances. It can be said that there are many difficulties, but no matter how difficult it is, you have to do it.
In order not to attract the attention of local forces and visitors from other worlds, Xiao Tianlei strives to keep his actions secret and specially chooses to dock at night. Brothers such as Jiang Xiaoxi, Ma Xiaoyi and others have been on the shore to respond. They have also made some preliminary preparations, such as asking some guides, translators, and setting up some destinations.
The tracks rotated and made a creaking sound. Several armored vehicles drove ashore. With the current technology of the Brotherhood, they could not build armored vehicles. Some of these armored vehicles were made from the earth, and some were seized from the battle with the earthlings. However, they have undergone some transformations suitable for alien stars, especially the power system. The alien stars do not have fuel, so they imitate the power system of the Kuchi aircraft. Although these armored vehicles, although the power is a little weaker than before due to imperfect technology, they no longer need to rely on fuel. They fill in fossil fuel once. As long as there is no other fault, it is not a problem to run thousands of miles.
The private chat system had long assigned their respective tasks. After getting ashore, they just looked at the unfamiliar environment around them. Xiao Tianlei and his brothers didn't say much and did not stop. They followed Jiang Xiaoxi, Ma Xiaoyi and others to the station they found. The armored vehicles did not turn on the lights, and the team drove in a vast way in the dark. There were many tents and fires in the wilderness. Those were camping refugees. Religious wars were extremely cruel. Whether old, young, female, or children, they would either die or become slaves. Many people tried to escape to some islands or the Eastern continent by sea. Many refugees gathered in the harbor cities of the Central Land.
Before dawn that day, Xiao Tianlei and others arrived at the pre-arranged station. In order to hide their traces, they would marches during the day and rush forward slowly towards the front line. However, Xiao Tianlei and some brothers changed into Zhonglu Te's costumes and mounts, traveling day and night, and took the lead in rushing to the front line.
According to the information sent back by brothers who had sneaked into the front line earlier, the divine blessing army of the Western Continent Church and the coalition forces of various countries in China and mainland gathered with Zoroastrians as the core have begun small-scale wars, and large-scale battles may break out at any time. As for the outcome of the war, Xiao Tianlei didn't care. He just wanted to see the divine envoys show their combat power, but Xiao Tianlei was disappointed.
Two days later, Xiao Tianlei and his party arrived at the front line and hid aside to watch the battle from afar. They thought the divine envoys would participate in the battle, but they didn't know that the three spacecraft were just flying far away in the air, and the morale of the divine army below was bursting out. The strength of the divine army was almost even higher than that of the divine army and even more numerous. The Central Army was chased and killed like a duck.
At first, Xiao Tianlei was considering whether to support the Zoroastrianism and the Central Army, and give them some advanced weapons to fight against the Divine Blessing Army or those Divine Envoys. Now it seems that there is no need for this. These guys who believe in gods and ghosts are full of awe of the unknown, and always think about the strange aspects of the gods and gods that don’t understand. However, they have extremely rich imaginations in this area, and think more serious than the sky falling. Faced with the so-called Divine Envoys, flying warships that can cast the sky fire, they will not consider the truth or falsehood at all. When they see the spaceships in the sky, they don’t have much courage to resist. Even if they give them some advanced weapons, they will be useless.
So, the Divine Blessing Army easily captured some cities, killed and plundered precious women. As for the Zoroastrianism and the Central Army coalition, they had to retreat continuously, and many surrendered. After surrendering, they were like domestic animals, and could not even resist, or they joined the Divine Blessing Army and raised their butcher knife to their compatriots. In this case, the Zoroastrianism and the Central Army coalition had come up with some strategies. It is said that the Zoroastrianism is preparing a prayer ceremony and praying that their gods can surrender the divine envoys.
Xiao Tianlei really didn't know what to say about this. The idea of these people in Zoroastrianism seems to be correct, but can they really invite their divine envoys? Xiao Tianlei expressed serious doubts and had to say helplessly to a group of brothers: "If Zoroastrianism allows those divine envoys to show their strength, we can't count on ourselves!"
"Then what should we do?!" The brothers were very excited.
"It's very simple. We attack the Shenyou Army, kill heavily, maintain a certain degree of secretness, and force those divine envoys to take action. It's better to send only some people to deal with us. At that time..." Without Xiao Tianlei's words, the other brothers understood the following words, and immediately expressed their support. For some brothers who are used to fighting, it would be really uncomfortable to enter such a battlefield without showing off their strength.
In fact, in just a few days, Xiao Tianlei and others have killed many Divine Blessing Army, but they are doing it more secretly. Now, after disguising, they are extremely confusing and have cheated many Divine Blessing Army. Not to mention the cannon fodder of Divine Blessing Army, the main force is some lords of the Western Continent and the knights they lead. To be honest, the regular knights of the Western Continent are not inferior to those of the Eastern Continent, but the weapons and equipment are much worse. Except for a very small number of lord knights, most of the other armor is very old, and most of the mounts are just ordinary war horses. It can be said that this is a group of poor ghosts. They participated in the Eastern Expedition rather than for faith, but more for money. Perhaps because of "for the true god!", "for faith!", "for glory!", "kill pagans!", and these people are not ruthless in killing.
Xiao Tianlei and his brothers never claim to be good people, but they really don’t like this kind of thing and feel that death is not worth mercy. Moreover, these guys seem to want to kill to the East Continent, so there is no reason to let it go. Since then, Xiao Tianlei and his brothers no longer deliberately hide and began to kill the Shenyou Army everywhere. With the skills and equipment of Xiao Tianlei and his brothers, as long as they don’t attack the Shenyou Army’s army to seek death, they are basically one-sided killings. Not to mention that they also carried some large killing weapons such as light and heavy machine guns, which caused losses to the Shenyou Army to tens of thousands of people within a few days. Luo Luo, Xiao Tianming and others also assassinated some important generals and priests of the Shenyou Army. However, what Xiao Tianlei expected did not happen, and their actions seemed to have not attracted the attention of those Shenyou Army. What's going on?
